After 14-plus years of doing award-winning radio theatre on NPR, Rick is known for his wide array of unique character voices, yet he also gets called for his naturally "youthful" sounding announcer reads. He's been a major-market morning radio personality for more than 10 years and he is the host of the Missouri Lottery's weekly television game show, Fun & Fortune, which airs state-wide. He also has a complete repertoire of impersonations and has been writing comedy for several years. Whether you're looking for a veteran on-camera performer or a voice-over with an attitude, Rick can do the job.
